Incorporating a free exhibition detailing over of 10000 years Solway Coast Heritage, it showcases the Solway Coast, describing its wildlife, heritage, landscape, communities and outlines historic and future perspectives. It features displays about the people of the area – the Ancient Britons, Romans, Vikings and Medieval Monks who have lived here.
